I have a visitor

I saw two tiny tomatoes coming out this morning. This afternoon I opened up my shade to see how they were doing. The whiny tomato has a visitor. A squirrel. He looks so innocent. Keeping out of the sun in the nice shade I created with the chicken wire.

Editor's note: I can now count the number of visitors in Sitemeter. What an international group! Small but international.

Going upscale

Last week I heard a rather prominent thump on my balcony. There I saw a large squirrel meandering around the plants. It didn't bite into anything. Perhaps it is waiting for some nice fresh tomatoes to whet its palate.

Taking heed from that old expression, "prudence is the better part of valor", I went to Lowes and bought some chicken wire to protect the plants (well, two of the plants).

Gone are the computer box materials. Gone is the video equipment bag. I have gone upscale.
